(Feature) Hold + Swipe to multiselect

Open sud0xenn opened this issue 4 months ago • 2 comments

Just an action for convenience in most applications where it allows to hold and drag to select multiple files.

For example, the flow to mimic is found in Files by Google:

  1. Initial hold = initiate the selection view
  2. Initial release = select current selection from step 1
  3. 2nd hold on selection = allow to drag files onto different folders to move/copy them.

You can select files by long click on the first file, then long click on another file, and all files in between will be selected.

That is amazing, but imagine managing a large folder full of images. The last item won't be in the view so we won't be able to effectively select all or select partials.

EDIT: I see that it still works after scrolling as selection is saved. Still is a little non-intuitive than dragging.

Absolutely been loving the project, testing out some foss explorers myself and prism seems to be ahead competing with Files by Google so kuddos to you! ^^
